You know, we 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.400 did like a little zoom interview. It was even before 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.200 your album came out. What was it like, in the 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.400 middle of the quarantine, which we're still in the middle 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.639 of it. It It was in the middle, it was it 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.960 was before the album. No, it was before before the album. Yeah, No, 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.280 it was before the album came out. Well, since Birth 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:53.960 is out, how has life been for you, man? Since 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.160 all the shit has been kind of like collapsing around 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:58.840 us in Los Angeles, because I know you've been out 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.120 here pretty much the whole time. Yeah, I mean I 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.359 never thought that it would be like this, you know 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:07.200 what I mean, Like especially dropping music and shit, putting 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.800 the album out in the pandemic shit like this, not 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.359 being able to move around, yeah, like tour and like 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:15.720 even even like this, you know what I'm saying. Like 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:17.960 at least it opened up a little bit for us 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.079 to be able to do that or something like that. Hey, honestly, 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.200 that's why you know, we've been talking about me doing 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.799 this podcast for so long, and like they shut the 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.919 radio station down so we can have guests there probably 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.959 till next year. And I'm like, Yo, this zoom shit 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.080 in this Instagram live shit is like kind of whack. Yeah, 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.640 I mean, it's not no to me. Honestly, there's not 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:41.000 no feel there. Yeah, and it's like everybody like you 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.000 know what like I mean, And it's good for artists 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:48.440 because you know, like these radio promo runs are draining. 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.760 If you're a rapper, right and you got to go 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.080 and bounce around all these corny ass radio DJs in 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.200 every fucking market, it can be a lot. Now you 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:56.720 can just be like, all right, let's do a zoom 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:58.560 just straight up, you know what I mean. But if 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.920 it's somebody like me, I feel like putting out my 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.640 first album after all this time, I feel like I 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:05.840 want to I would want to know you want to go, 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.320 you want to do that? It probably wouldn't. It's crazy 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.960 to think that this is your first album. Yeah, super crazy. 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.360 And I always tell people this is seventeen projects before. 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.400 That's what I'm saying, Like, what makes this the album 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.640 and what what? What about all the mixtapes? I mean, like, 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.200 this is your first album. It's so wild to say 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:27.279 that out loud, Like yeah, it throws people off too, 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.719 you know what i mean, because it's like they put 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.440 they pull up projects and be like this wasn't the album. 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.800 I'm like, no, I didn't say that. It was like 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.560 it was a mixtape, you know what I mean, Like 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:40.240 I didn't go I didn't go like pause as hard 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.200 as as like on a mixtape. I can go in 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:44.599 there and do that shit in a day or two 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:46.360 if I really want to, you know what I mean, 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:48.840 like the whole project right, and then put it out 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.440 in a week. But with the album, I feel like 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.640 I had the album six times before, and so this 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.560 is like the sixth rendition of your first album. Yeah, 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.000 and then I just I've been trashing it the whole time. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.159 I'm like, nah, I ain't ready, It ain't ready. Ain't ready. Yeah, 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:06.200 What's like obviously, you know everybody knows you from being 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.560 Taylor Gang and and you're kind of like Whizz's right 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:14.719 hand man. I think, like, you know, if you see Wiz, 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.160 you know, you see Chevy like it's it's you guys 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.920 are you know we talked about this on IG Live. 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:24.880 You're like the Scottie to his Jordan, and like, what 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.800 is like do you feel like there's like a lot 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:31.839 of pressure, like being like this is your first album? 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.120 I know that like a lot of people have been 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.040 waiting for your shit for a long time, bro, and 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:41.919 like it's almost like we haven't. I mean, you dropped 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:43.920 last year, right, didn't drop a mixtape last year? Was 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.320 that twenty eighteen? Yeah? No, I dropped a project last 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.560 year too. Yeah, You're like it's crazy though, like do 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.560 you feel any sort of pressure like being as like 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.039 we've been seeing you and you've been putting out so 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:57.880 much content, but this is like like I feel like 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:01.039 that debut album energy is so different than everything else 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:03.840 that anybody could ever do, because it's like you think 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:07.159 of nas and nomadic and doggy styling m h. And 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.480 that's where my mind was that anyway, Like of course 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.880 it's the baby picture, you know what I'm saying. So 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.279 I thought, you know, in my mind thinking of like 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.320 classic music and how I used to listen to albums 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:22.200 from start to finish without skipping. That was my whole thing. 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.440 Like I'm gonna do the When it's time, I'm gonna 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:29.120 do the baby picture because that's like my classic album. Yeah, 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.880 it's like the Nas covered, Ready to Die covered, the 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.320 Wheezy cover, you know what I mean? So like all 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.000 of those were like inspiration to me having it, but 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:42.000 I and I don't what y'all? Wayne was the Carter three? 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.760 Carter three, I think, so yeah, quarter three. And the 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.240 pressure thing is, I've been out the door for me, 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:48.960 you know what I mean, Like, I ain't gotta I 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.080 don't gotta live up to nobody's expectations or nothing like 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.599 that anymore. I feel like years ago I probably had 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.240 to because Wiz was at so high of a point 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.240 that people were looking like, oh, his man, what is 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.599 he gonna do next? Blah blah blah blah blah. But 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:05.440 I never lived in that world, you know what I mean. 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:07.760 I just basically just did my own ship, and he 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:13.080 supported the same way regardless. How do you feel like, 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.720 because obviously Taylor gang Is has had so many different 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:21.320 incarnations throughout the years. There was like that double XL 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:26.640 cover where it was the Lola Chick and Juicy and 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:32.480 Thie Juicy tye Y, and then it seems like even 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.480 Cardo was on that cover. Cardo shout out to Cardo 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:39.400 for being so instrumental in the sound early on Man. 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:44.680 But then like more recently, you know, there's like, you 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:50.720 know the guy uh Skate, there's you know, these younger artists. 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:57.679 What's dude's name? I'm thinking of a dude from fucking Houston? 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:01.400 Is he from? Yeah? For sure? Yeah, Like there's like, 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.000 you know, like I just feel like there's been so 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.160 many different but you've kind of always been the constant. 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:09.520 Besides obviously with Khalifa. Do you remember like the early 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.480 days of like when y'all decided to call the Shit 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.600 Tailor Gang, Like, Like what were like those early days, 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.560 like you were probably not even Chevy Woods, yet you 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.560 were probably kept up. I was, Yeah, definitely kept the hustler, 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.440 the hustler. Yeah, it was. It was basically off of 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.360 like we didn't I didn't wear Chuck Taylor's and shit, 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:28.480 you know what I'm saying, Like I didn't really see 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:32.520 those come about until like outfits, until I met Wiz, 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.640 you know what I'm saying. He was wearing them with everything, 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.080 you know what I'm saying, And I'm like, the hell 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.640 made this dude wear these shoes, Bro, Like these is 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.040 like some of the wacky shoes ever, you know what 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.199 I'm saying, especially to go with an outfit and like 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:47.440 be in the streets, because he was in the hood 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.560 with us, like you know what I'm saying constantly, like 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.480 every day and people would be like, yo, so with 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:56.480 your man, bro, like what he got on, and but 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.200 I just kind of like took the time to like 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.480 figure out why he moves and why he does the way, 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:04.400 why he thinks this way, you know what I'm saying. 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.679 So I think that it definitely comes from the shoe. 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.439 And then it was just his own thing. And then 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.440 we came around, you know what I'm saying, And then 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:14.800 was like ten of us from like from like my 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:18.720 neighborhood right right, and boom, Taylor gang. Now I guess 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.880 now he has something to call it an actual gang 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:23.679 of people, you know what I'm saying. So it came 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:25.560 from the shoe, and it came from the people. Yeah, 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:31.440 the entire Chuck Taylor and camouflage Cargo short thing was 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:35.120 like uniform. Yeah, it was uniform for me for like 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:43.240 probably longer than it. Cargo, Bro. Let me tell you something. 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.640 There's something like fire about like somebody making like a 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.960 thirty four dollars shoe cool for like poor motherfuckers. Yeah, 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:51.760 I could go get me some fucking Chucks and be 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:55.000 lit for sure. For sure, we used to. I mean 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.880 it was a point where we used to just wear 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.520 everybody on tour, like when we were on tour, like 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.199 you said, that was the It was the the Shark hoodie, 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.040 the u TV and then it was like, you know, 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:09.880 either a crew neck that way or the Camo shorts 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.400 with the pulled up socks with the Chucks or there 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.400 were you got.

Yeah, so when we got 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.280 back and then now it's cut off again, you know, 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.640 like we itching to like be out there. Yeah. I 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:03.520 feel like it's almost like one of those things every 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.480 summer where you're just like, all right, who's Whiz bringing 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.880 out on the road this year? M hm for sure 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.440 I missed that too, Like, you know, just a camaraderie 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.160 of people and hearing what names are going to be 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.640 out there and knowing who you cool with and knowing 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.600 who you want to get the known and stuff like that. Hey, 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:21.280 do you remember the time that Wiz did a show 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.679 in flag Staff at NAU and his cousin played football 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.280 there and then we all went and took over like 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:32.679 a frat house in the mountains? Was that there? I 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.000 don't know if you were there, you would have remembered 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:36.520 if you were there. Never mind, you might not have 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:38.120 been there. But I feel like you're at every fucking 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.199 show I know, because only only one that I really 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:45.360 remember is like in Arizona. I mean, of course had 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.840 a spot called Red something or something. Oh your club, 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.520 Red Club, Red Yeah, that was early. Huh yeah, like 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.520 even that, and I went back there with Kevin Gates 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.680 in like two thy fifteen. Yeah. I think the last 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.400 time I saw you solo was in scott Steel. You 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.280 and Berner did a show yep yep, shout out through 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.080 the burn Man. Yeah. I just feel like the road 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.200 Man is like some I feel like you guys, I 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.120 have done it for so long in the summertime, it's 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:10.880 like shit, it's crazy to think this is the first 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:15.960 summer in my life where there's no big toys. It's crazy. Well, 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:17.280 you let me ask you a question. What do you 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:21.080 think about when the Getback happens next year? How many 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.040 people are going to be trying to go out? Some 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.040 people ain't gonna get their chance. I think that there's 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:30.720 gonna be a adjusted bag for the times for all 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.120 the artists, right, Like you might have to take like 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.240 fifteen grand less than you're used to taking, or like 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.400 depending on you know what I'm saying, just because because 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.040 you have to kind of factor that in. Not only that, right, 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.079 but the costs if you think about it, if you're 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.960 a promoter and you want to throw a show, the 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.959 precautions are way different now. Yeah, you gotta like make 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:54.080 sure everyone's like fucking you know, maybe sprayed down before 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:57.040 they walk in like that. I don't know, Like Bro, 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:01.000 I went to I went to Mexico last month, and 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.800 before we can go into the resort, you gotta stand 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.400 under this thing and it missed you with fucking sanitizer. Bro. Yeah, 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.360 see this ship was wild. Ship's getting trippy. But yeah, 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:15.000 the shows are gonna be interesting because I think once 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:20.880 there's a fucking you know, uh what am I the 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:27.079 ship that they give you, vaccine, a fucking vaccine, a vaccine, 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.680 the ship that they give you, ship that they give you. 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.480 That might be some ship that they give you though too, 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.760 like people they don't know. Man, history is crazy, like 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:39.760 there used to be vaccines and ship like that back 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:41.480 in the day where they give you ship, they give 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.960 you the ship that day they purposely gave Yeah, so 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.440 they so are you gonna go take the vaccine? I'm 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.120 away at least I'm gonna. I'm gonna. I'm gonna take 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:54.800 that motherfucker eventually. Look, I don't I haven't dug it 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:59.080 enough to the anti vaccine fucking conspiracy hole on the internet, 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.079 but I gotta check it out. It's a place I'm 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.560 willing to check out. Yeah, me neither. But I feel 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.520 like it's fifty to fifty. I don't know. I mean, 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:13.120 it's documented that they purposely injected black people with syphilis. 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:18.160 See that's like official, that's official. Just think about the 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.760 last person you heard have chicken pox. I haven't had 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.360 chicken box in a long time, but as a kid, 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.120 you had had it once back then. It don't come 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:30.840 around no more. Do you think that's because people got vaccinated? 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.720 I mean, isn't that good. I feel like it was 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.840 something that was put here, just like everything else, almost 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.480 like it was some man made Yeah, bird flu, where 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.440 is it at? Anthrax? Where's it at? It's like that 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.040 shit just don't up and leave. Listen, man, the coronavirus 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:48.960 already have the coronavirus like four months ago. So I'm 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:53.040 you know, that shit sucked. Maybe I'm already fucking immune. 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.280 What was that? Like? I just couldn't. Honestly, for me, 0:14:56.400 --> 0:15:00.400 it was like, I'm a fucking idiot in Scottsdale opened 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.240 back up. So I went out there and DJed like 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.240 a fucking idiot, and then Swale I DJed his mansion 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:10.360 party in Scottsdale, and then like three days later I 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:14.120 had a sniffle and I was like, you know, it's 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.440 a fucking sniffle. Whatever. I got back to LA and 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:20.600 then I couldn't smell, and I was like, fuck, I 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.680 got this shit. Yeah, so I just couldn't smell. And 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.160 then I was like fatigued a little bit, and they 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.160 say that's the first thing that goes It's like smell. Yeah, 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.280 I'm just glad my taste didn't go away because I'm 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.480 a fat fuck. So I was you know, I like 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:37.320 to enjoy my food. It definitely was affected. But yeah, 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:40.920 I think the shows are going to be extremely different 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.520 for at least all the next year. Like this way, 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.320 if Drake goes out, if the baby goes out, if 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:51.760 Wiz goes out, if Travis Scott goes out, if some 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:56.320 so and so goes out, that person in that household 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.560 cannot buy all those guys. Well, I feel like that 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.640 was already happening. There was some summer it might have 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:05.440 been last summer or the summer before there was there 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:10.960 was like fucking fifteen tours going on, and like one 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.720 of these is taken a l Yeah, somebody gotta lose 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.280 because the ain't no like you said, no, No, nobody 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:20.720 who's normal can afford five arena tour fucking tickets. That's 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.520 fifty bucks a pop, like you know, I mean, and 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:26.600 you gotta take in consideration, you saying to yourself, these 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:28.920 are my favorite artists. I'm not going on the lawn. 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.520 I'm buying them. Yeah, you gotta go with abroad or 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.920 you gotta go with your people, and then you gotta 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:37.320 get a babysitter outfits shit, you know what I mean? 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:38.880 Five shows? Yeah, I don't know, man, I think the 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:40.520 I think the concert is gonna be fucked up for 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.760 a while. I think it's gonna go heavy in the 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.120 digital space for a little bit. Like I know some 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:48.240 people who are some heavy hitters that are like putting 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:52.640 together some like digital like pay for concert shit, which 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:56.200 I think is kind of honestly fucking whack, but meaning 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.560 like watch it, like you just watch yeah, like people 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:00.720 are performed, Like I think that shits terrible. I think 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:02.520 I think. I mean, if you can get a bag, 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:04.080 of course you're gonna do it if you're an artist. 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:05.560 But it's like that kind of takes away the whole 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.240 purpose of the road. The road is to like build 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.879 up more fans, see the people with your own eyes, 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:15.440 you know, interact with your with your especially if you're 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.080 doing smaller venues. That's like the most important, like stage 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.800 of your career when you're doing like five hundred person 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.360 venues and you can go in like see like your 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:25.840 and then you give them a good experience and then 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.320 they go tell all of their friends times five hundred, 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:29.960 and then the next time you come back, it's like 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.720 a thousand person venue to one thousand. I feel like 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:36.879 everybody has fucking staged in the crowd. You have to, 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.359 like the thing is is it's crazy because there's some 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:43.080 artists who are shoot so fast down where they're just 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:46.119 so big, so quick that like they need Some of 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.760 these motherfuckers never got the opportunity to do that those 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.480 kind of venues. They get thrown on some major tour first. 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:56.480 That's a fact. It's like yo, that like that solo 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.040 little run, even if you do two hundred tickets a 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.120 night like that, shit matters. That sh It's how you 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.639 spread your fan base. Like I don't know the man, 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:06.960 We'll see what happens. I know, Whiz just did like 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:11.480 a fucking uh he performed in the backyard like the 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:15.959 virtual her fucking genius. Yeah yeah, yeah, that ship was again. 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:20.560 I think that's where ship's going. And if you're an artist, 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:22.960 I could do the show in my backyard. Yeah that's 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.200 I mean, you for sure gonna be like I thought. 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:26.760 The only thing I thought was cool about that is 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:30.040 like fans could vote on what song he performed next. 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.639 That ship was fire. Can you imagine if they figure 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:35.919 out a way to do that ship I like a 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:39.520 real venue like on an app wow, and like the 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.240 like you're performing, but the fans are in the crowd 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.600 voting on what you're That should be an artist, fuck 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.000 because it's cool too for the artist like you want 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:49.560 it would you wouldn't like you already have your catalog. 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:53.000 You know what's up If the fan is hitting the 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:56.000 song on the app and the and it comes through 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.240 like the in air ship, you know what's coming next. 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.199 So you ain't gonna fuck up truth and so it 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:03.840 that's I mean, I know, you know with the it's 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:05.520 like people having their sets and shit, it could be 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:09.000 a little interesting. But yeah, I don't know, man, talk 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:11.800 about with your album, like I know you you kind 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:14.040 of switched up a little bit of the sound on 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:17.000 some records, especially like with the melodics. Shit, I mean 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.320 going in that direction on some of the songs, like 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:23.160 and you've always kind of done that to an extent, 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:25.600 but like, what is do you feel like this is 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:30.679 like your I feel like I've heard heard the growth 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:34.480 on this project the most. That's where That's where I 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.520 was at with it in my mind too. I so 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:40.160 twenty and nineteen, like we talked about, I put out 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:44.040 one project, and with that one project, we were on 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:46.639 tour as well. When I got off tour, I was like, 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:49.560 you know what, I'm not even going hurry up and 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:51.280 rush to be like yo, I want need to put 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.920 an album album album.

So I got a bunch 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:57.240 of the song like maybe one hundred two hundred songs 0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:01.320 from twenty nineteen that I never even release just because 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:03.960 it was like me, it was like studying, practicing and 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:06.960 stuff like that. So I like put that on myself 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.120 and said, I'm not even gonna worry about the albums 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:11.440 going right right right right, right right right.
